re: Who the hell builds a new house and puts both hot waterheaters upstairs

Pressure is better when they are higher.

Also, depending on your attic insulation situation, you get free heating from the sun in the summer since most attics are hotter than a witch’s caldron.

All the tankless snobs in here looking down at us.

My sisters house has it in the attic and you can guarantee that their hot water freezes everytime it gets below 30

She should prob have someone look into this

You think that is stupid. One time doing work for the fed at a govt building, they wanted us to put a 100 gallon hot water heater up above the ceiling in the bathroom. frickIN REGARDED. Of course we talked the dumb sum bitches into putting it on the floor adjacent to the bathroom, so it can be easily worked on. I'm sure you would also have to tell those guys to wipe their arse, otherwise they wouldn't do it either.

Putting a hot water heater upstairs or in the attic should be against the law/building code. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

My water heater is in the basement.
It shite the bed and leaked out a couple of years ago.
It took me a couple of hours to vacuum up the water, and I was actually happy to do it bc I just kept thinking about what a mess it would've been if it was in the attic.

Same here. Me and a very good friend of mine, had the exact same thing happen. The difference was, mine was in the basement on a concrete slab. His was was in the attic. Cost me about $1000. He had $50K in damage.
